Delaware at Virginia Commonwealth

The top two teams in the Colonial clash here. But, they aren't close. Delaware has needed two straight OT wins to maintain a flawless conference record and stay above .500 overall. Two losses in those games and they would be 6-9 on the season! They are just 3-6 on the road and two straight OT games (the last double OT) takes its toll on young kids. On the road they are averaging 61.1 ppg and the team they face tonight gives up 59.3 ppg on the season. At home, they are 7-0, allowing 50.7 ppg! Think the Blue Hens are going to have trouble scoring tonight? Yeah, we do too. Delaware is just 5-25 vs. good teams (60%+ SU record) in their last 30. Delaware is a slow-down team, averaging just 52 shots per game. That plays right into the hands of the Rams who are 10-1 vs. teams averaging 53 or fewer shots over the past two seasons.
